The compression wave produced when a high-speed train enters a tunnel propagates along the tunnel ahead of the train. The micro pressure wave related to He compression wave is a special physics Phenomena created by high-speed train-tunnel interfaces. On this work, the method for reducing the micro pressure wave is to delay the gradient of the compression wave by using aerodynamic structures. The objective of this paper is to determine the optimum angle of the slanted portal using the moving model rig. According to the results of the present study, the maximum value of micro pressure wave is reduced by 19.2% fer the $45^{\circ}$ slanted portal installed at the entrance of the tunnel and reduced by 41.9% far the $45^{\circ}$ slanted portals at the entrance and exit of the tunnel. Also it is reduced by 34.6% for the $30^{\circ}$ slanted portals installed at the entrance and exit of the tunnel.

Abandoned mines release acid mine drainage and cause the contamination of soil and crops around the mine area. The objective of current study is to evaluate effect of mine on the soil and crop contamination. Soils, water, and crops were collected and analyzed, and the heavy metal data were classified into types of the soil, types of crops, and distance from the minehead. Surface soils of the mine area were highly contaminated with heavy metals, especially with zinc and lead. Tailings and cultivated paddy soils were also highly contaminated. Heavy metal concentrations upon distance from minehead decrease steadily as the distance from the minehead increase. The correlation between heavy metals was extracted from soils and the content in the rice samples showed a positive relation for arsenic and cadmium but not a meaningful relation for other metals.

본 연구에서는 동해고속도로 설계시 나타난 연속터널을 대상으로 하여 터널내 오염농도 해석 및 터널내 오염농도의 거동 및 터널 갱구부 주변의 오염물질의 재유입 여부를 분석하여, 연속터널에 대한 터널내 외부유동에 대한 환기영향을 검증하였다. 또한 연속터널 연결부에서의 캐노피 설치방안, 결빙대책 및 조도순응대책 등을 검토하여 연속터널에서의 환기 및 방재특성을 고려한 합리적인 고속도로설계가 되고자 하였다.

As portions(28m) of the designed tunnel was crossing the abandoned tunnel, methods for safe construction were demanded. The level of the abandoned tunnel and the designed tunnel was almost same and each tunnel was crossing at an angle of about 40 degrees. Therefore the abandoned tunnel would adversely affect the stability of the designed tunnel. Some sections of the abandoned tunnel passes through the designed tunnel wall were fully filled with tunneling spoil and cement milk grouting to increase tunnelling stability. By checking physical properties of grouting cores drilled at the cross section of the designed tunnel and the abandoned tunnel, the quality of material filled in the abandoned tunnel was confirmed. Also the stability of the designed tunnel was checked by the monitoring during excavation of the tunnel.

The author conducted new back analysis method using monitoring data to a landslide which occurred around portal. In this case, because the tunnel being located under the sliding plane of the landslide, calculated value from the ordinary back analysis in which considered only stress release by the tunnel excavation didn't fit the measured value. Then, in the new method, a body force as the movement of the landslide mass was added to the ordinary back analysis and good results were obtained. Furthermore, the author carried out stability analysis of the landslide with the data of the back analysis and examined the loosened area and decreasing og the sliding plane strength due to the tunnel excavation.

During the excavation of a tunnel portal, failure zones around the tunnel heading occur and also the ground supports itself. In a portal, its location and the ground characteristic have a great influence on the stability of the tunnel. Therefore, the failure mechanism of a tunnel heading and how to assess the stability of the tunnel are very important. In this paper, the numerical analyses were executed to evaluate the safety factor using strength reduction technique. The influence area of an excavation was also predicted through a case study in which no-support case and support case with the Pattern P-6 were compared in terms of the ground class and the shear strain.

The demand of tunnels has been increased for the linear improvement of general national highway, and road construction and/or enlargement in Korea. Also, the collapses of tunnel portal slope have been increased in recent due to heavy rain caused by global warming. Therefore, it has been risen the requirement of system for the stability of tunnel portal slope in Korea as well as all over the world. The objective of this research is to develop an effective maintenance system for supervising the tunnel portal slope. This paper is a basic proposal to execute a survey on the current status and state of the tunnel portal slopes that were already installed along general national highways.

Purpose of the present is to investigate the food configuration at a tunnel entrance for reducing the micro pressure wave that is generated according to train speed. Two configurations were examined for tunnel of 0.5 km length. The experimental results show that a slit cover hood installed at the entrance of the tunnel reduces the maximum micro pressure wave by 41.2%, and a configuration with a slit cover hood installed at the entrance and a 45$^{\circ}$slanted portal at the exit of the tunnel suppresses it by 47.7%.

The Cutting slope is to be minimized when a tunnel meets the contour of slope terrain at a right angle around its portal. However, a tunnel portal has been generally installed at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of a tunnel with no consideration of the intersection angle with the slope terrain. This sometimes tended to cause huge cutting slope that resulted in many disadvantage in terms of safty, economy and environment. Therefore, the minimization of cutting slope is studied by taking the intersection angle into account, and the result is compared with that by the conventional method. In addition a design method for the inclined portal to the tunnel axis is proposed through 3D-FEM analysis, also the applicable ground condition is suggested.

The purpose of present study is to investigate for reducing micro pressure waves generated according to train speeds $(240km/h{\sim}380km/h)$ through tunnels with countermeasures as followings; the hood configuration in tunnel entrance. We developed hoods for tunnel of 0.5 km length in the condition of tunnel cross-section area of $107m^2$ on the slab track. According to the results the maximum micro-pressure wave is reduced by 41.2% for the slit hood installed at the entrance of the tunnel and reduced by 47.7% for the slit hood installed at the entrance of the tunnel and the $45^{\circ}$ slanted portal at the exit of the tunnel
